The only problem I have ever had with the figures quoted on that site, is that I think they measured the spring tension from the extended full length of the spring down to around its actual working range. I think the quoted initial rates are probably a bit soft. I would guess that the actual working rates, at their normal working length, would be a bit siffer than that. However, I'll have to reserve final judgement on that until I can measure an extra set of mine that I have lying around. But finding a place with a device to measure them is another story.
